Dialogian Thought on DiaStar and OpenSource Comms

Dialogic is not just the name of the company I work for. It is also some kind of philosophical word relating to reenacting what has come before, and what will come in the future. Whether that is common sense or deep philosophy I do not know, but it probably...

The Rise of the Machines

This is my last blog about CTIA, at least for now. Outside of all the 3G/4G network noise and whose network is faster (I wonder when we will see 5G hype) and Android phones, the show had a good business rhythm. Since Shaun White was on display at one...
